“Hither came Conan…” The world’s most famous barbarian comes to The Appendix N Podcast to tread the works of lesser fantasy authors beneath his sandled feet. We are talking about the earliest Conan stories written by Robert E. Howard, though not necessarily the first published. www.nobleknight.com Howard, R. E.: “Conan” series Robert E. Howard born 1906, died 1936 Born in Texas, the only son of a traveling country physician. Traveling with his father exposed him to firsthand tales of violence that wouldinfluence his writing, and like many people of the time he was greatly interested in the sport of boxing. Howard’s love of poetry and literaturecame from his mother, Hester. His earliest stories were historical fiction about Vikings, Arabs and lots of violence. His earliest influenceswere Jack London, Rudyard Kipling and Thomas Bullfinch. In August 1930, Howard wrote toWeird Talesin praise “The Rats in the Walls” by H. P. Lovecraft. Theletter was forwarded to Lovecraft and the two authors became friends. Howard is considered to have contributed to the Lovecraft Mythos. Thecorrespondence between Howard and Lovecraft contained a lengthy discussion on a frequent element in Howard’s writing, civilization versusbarbarism. Howard held that civilization was inherently corrupt and fragile. Howard wrote his first Conan story in 1932, adapting an unpublished story “By This Axe I Rule!” featuring one of Howard’s otherprotagonists, Kull the Conqueror. Conan would go on to become Howard’s most enduring character. Howard sadly committed suicide in 1936 upon learning that his mother was dying of tuberculosis. “The Phoenix on the Sword” first published inWeird Tales, December 1932 “The Frost Giant’s Daughter” first published as “The Gods of the North” inWeird Tales, 1932 “The God in the Bowl” reject byWeird Tales, published posthumously inSpace Science Fiction, September 1952 Co-host: Jeffrey Wikstrom website -jeffwik.com email -jeffwik@gmail.com My guest: Peter Foxhoven http://www.thetomeshow.com thetomeshow@gmail.com Geoffrey Winn gdwinn@comcast.net Support the show, shop below...NOBLE KNIGHTDownload Standard Podcasts
